Songtext von Shackles of Gold

I have roamed all seven seas And seen most people on their knees Spending their lives on what's told And now what's told is backed by gold If you don't care what others say If you are sick of chasing praise If you desire a whole new world My friend, behold There's nothing more than the value of life Don't waste yourself in an unneeded strife Cut the majority's strangling hold And cast away your shackles of gold Once you are free from all that's not yours You will start seeing opening doors Waiting for you behind every door A life you've never imagined before A fly stuck in a spider's net A racing rat drowning in sweat Your final hour's coming near But still the prison seems so dear Your final words full of regret But wait, we are not there yet You still have time to change it now I'll show you how There's nothing more than the value of life Don't waste yourself in an unneeded strife Cut the majority's strangling hold And cast away your shackles of gold Once you are free from all that's not yours You will start seeing opening doors Waiting for you behind every door A life you've never imagined before There's nothing more than the value of life Don't waste yourself in an unneeded strife Cut the majority's strangling hold And cast away your shackles of gold Once you are free from all that's not yours You will start seeing opening doors Waiting for you behind every door A life you've never imagined before
